Little Match Girl ballet

Each year I take Libby to the ballet at Christmas time. Every year we have always gone to see Cinderella. It's a very pretty ballet but the performance is long. A ;little too long for Libby so we usually end up leaving half way through because Libby isn't one for sitting still long and being quiet. But really, Cinderella is a very pretty ballet. But the performances of Cinderella are next weekend - and Libby is with her dad next weekend. This weekend there were performances of the Little Match Girl. We haven't seen that one before but we decided to check it out so that we could continue our tradition of going to the ballet each December. I knew from the beginning that we'd only be there for an hour because the performance started at 2:30 and the Gator game started at 4:00pm. It's the SEC Championship between #2 Florida and an (so far) undefeated #1 Alabama. Can't miss something like that - ESPECIALLY when if Florida wins then that means a shot at the National Championship!! Sooooo, we go to the ballet and we LOVED it! Like I said before, Cinderella is very nice and very pretty but we both just loved the Little Match Girl. It was just so cute. I actually didn't want to leave at 3:30 but we had to because I can't miss a Gator game for anything. It was also a much shorter performance. We left after an hour and there was probably only about 45 more minutes left of it so it is about half the length of Cinderella. We had a great time! Now we can't wait to see it again next year!!
